I was looking for some type of Internet Security software package for 03 Server. Symantec and Mcaffee software packages does not support 03 Server. The office that will be supported will have 1 server and 2 desktops. Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

Guess it depends on you secure you want to be and the amount of access you need to the internet. There are some good examples on the MS 2003 technet site of ways to secure your system for most office uses. My opinion would be until you feel secure then don't connect to the internet.
I would use an old computer for internet with 98/xp and working enterprise filewall software or hardware and proxy it to the others at most. You may also look at hardware solutions along with software.

There are high end $ software solutions but they may not be right for your office. It does kind of go back to how valueable your data is.

I had the same problem trying to find suitable software for Windows Server 2003. I ended up purchasing Symantec Antivirus Small Business Edition - 5 Users(I installed it on 2 servers and 3 workstations). Works very well. I also compared McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.0. 1
Server & 5 users but it was much more expensive. Good LUck
